§ 3-105. Escort services.

In addition to the general requirements for an adult entertainment establishment contained in section 3-101 and the special requirements for a sexually oriented business contained in section 3-104, an escort service shall, regardless of whether it is licensed, observe the following additional special requirements:

(1)

If offering or providing escorts within the county, an escort service shall notify the tax collector of an authorized physical location, which may or may not be within the county, from where the escort service operates and dispatches escorts.

(2)

Include in all advertising or promotional literature posted, placed, published, or distributed within the county, the number of a valid adult entertainment establishment/escort service license issued by the tax collector unless the escort service does not refer, send, or dispatch escorts to a location within the county.

(3)

Ensure that every escort or worker of an escort service is provided or obtains, carries while working as an escort, and displays upon the request of any law enforcement officer, an occupational license to engage in the occupation of escort within the county. Exception: An escort or worker of an escort service who is a paid employee for whom taxes and social security payments are withheld and paid by the escort service, and who is not an independent contractor, may substitute and carry a copy of the adult entertainment escort service license of the employing escort service.
